8 Tips to Get Rid of Blemishes

If acne is hard to deal with, think again. Think of those scars and blemishes they leave behind. Not only do these blemishes steal away good looks, they are unsightly and sometimes even tough to get rid of. Here are some tried-and-tested tips to get rid of blemishes.

1. Wash your face

Washing your face is important but do not overdo it. When dirt, grime, oil or bacteria clog into pores, they become enlarged. So, washing once in the morning and once more in the night will help to keep the surface clean and grime free. Pores become smaller and blemishes begin to diminish. However, excessive washing strips skins off excess moisture.

2. Apply cold compress

Take an ice cube, cover it with a clean washcloth and place this wrap on the blemishes for about five minutes. However, this has to be done as soon as a blemish shows up for better results. The ice wrap helps in bringing down inflammation and the earlier it bids goodbye, the lesser will the marks get to be.

3. Apply a mixture of lemon, almond oil, honey and milk powder

Take equal portions of almond oil, honey, juice of lemon and milk powder. Mix them together and apply on the blemishes. Let it dry for 20 minutes before rinsing off. Even the toughest of tans can be eliminated with this paste. Also, this mix can be stored in the refrigerator for even a week and re-used whenever necessary.

4. Watch your diet

Many times, what you eat can also trigger acne and thereby result in breakouts and blemishes. Therefore, make sure you restrict the quantity of meat and dairy products you consume. These foods can aggravate or even trigger breakouts. So, watch what you eat.
